Is it really so hard to agree that there is a difference between an OS
that ships with all services disabled in comparison to an OS with many
services enabled by default?

If you're not able to see this and agree to this you'll always be
trapped inside the prison of you mind on this.

Besides, sheer market share doesn't account for the quantity of
exploits. Microsofts IIS always manages to attract more negative
attention than the Apache webserver although Apache rules the market
with more than 60%. Of course, products that are so different in design
and distribution philosophies can only be compared with very limited
consequences. But reducing the number of viruses, exploits and attacks
on Windows systems to the simple fact that they rule the market is plain
stupid.

cheers,
Tobias
